According to the report, Grinch is 56-years-old, lives on Mount Crumpit near Whoville and had been hiding in the Montgomery County area with intent to steal Christmas trees, decorations and presents from local households.

But it's how the Montgomery Sheriff's office captured The Grinch which is turning heads.

After spotting the Grinch's dog Max at the dog park, officers fitted him with an "undetectable tracking device and audio receiver," allowing officers to record The Grinch confessing to his plans.
